Union Berlin were beaten by bottom side Heidenheim, which proved to be the final straw for the hierarchy. They are 11 points clear of the relegation zone and it would take a mammoth collapse for them to go down. She's been placed in interim charge with the 34-year-old already being announced as the manager of the women's team from the summer. Back in 2014 French side Clermont Foot appointed Corinne Diacre as the first female manager in French men's football history. ‌Union Berlin have now followed suit, but on a greater scale, and are confident their appointment will bring the desired results.
